The nominations are in and the winners are…

     First, I would like to make it clear that this Hall of Fame article is centered around the QuiltersBuzz Hall of Fame, which is quite different from the Quilter’s Hall of Fame.

     Nominations opened on May 17th for this event, in which comments were taken regarding individuals that strongly influenced quilting in lives. Those making the comments had their names entered into a drawing to win free patterns from the Threaded Pear Studio. Three (3) winners were chosen, however, if you read the comments, you will quickly see that everyone participating was truly a winner!

     Nominations in the QuiltersBuzz Hall of Fame included mothers, aunts, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and great great grandmothers, friends, daughters, and even the ex-wife of a husband! Also nominated were the Amish, Gwen, Nancy, Jo, Alex, Eleanor, Amy, Heather, Anna Maria, Denyse, Kaffe, Georgia, God, and others. Commentators were inspired by TV shows, DVDs, books, magazines, retreats, computers and the Internet.

     Not only are the winner’s comments a good read, but all of the rest of the comments are, as well!

     Who would you have nominated and why? Also, what (if anything) has inspired you to pursue quilting? Please post your comments and share your stories of who and/or what most influenced your quilting life!

     Comments are appreciated and may be left regarding this article on Quilting By Design on or after 05/16/07.
